Cool She cleaned up fairly well!

I've about got the car back together from a "crack and crevice" clean up effort. It cleaned up great, but I'm not putting the seats back in. I HATE the seats. In fact I have decided I like the dash, it's the seats I hate. They aren't in bad shape, I just can't stand the design.

Nat a bad looker for a member of the 200K mile club!

I agree with the seats. I need to get my supra seat apolstered, so I can put them in.

Car's inside looks nice. What about some, covered to match the upper dash color.?. I think that would look nice. with some new (oem) darker mats.

Wow you would never think that interior was over 200k old. Good job on the cleanup.

I remember someone here who put RSX seats in their SC and it looked awesome. Not sure how comfortable they are but they look smaller than the stock seats and fit real nicely into the interior.


If and when you do get some new seats I'll buy your old ones off ya.

I don't care if they are a little uncomfortable since this car only gets driven to the store and back once every few weeks if that. (I let it sit for 8 months last year without even opening the door). I basically just want to build it up since it has been sitting for a few years. Once I get it where I want it, I'll drive it more. I've got time.

I really hate letting it sit there so I feel bad and wanted to clean it up and find it some seats. Heck, it's a beautiful car. Full 97 conversion (I preferred the 96 tails and wing though), 18's, custom paint, about a grand in LLS lighting mods, clean as a pin. I can't stand it sitting here much longer. I miss it and want to get it built up to something I would rather drive than let sit.

I feel a mod streak coming

Man that is clean, suggestion for your seats. Keep the base and adapt MZ21 Soarer top sections, had some pics of it done here in Oz, but lost a lot of pics when my old computer crashed a while ago. Learnt to keep backups after that.

Whatever you do will look s++t hot.

Looking great OLT, my car is about due for a complete interior cleaning. I agree 100%, I like the dash I've always thought it was very well proportioned and complemented the rest of the interior. But my seats had to go, get those boat anchors out of there and you will be 100% happier with the interior!
